I'm not picking on Tulsa per se--maybe there's just a big tractor pull going on across town tonight.

Every AAC game I watched this week except ours, had bad attendance.

Sucks that 2 of the more prestigious schools (Memphis/UCONN) in the league are down right now. I just can't get over how terrible a hire Tubby was. I feel like most our road games are like playing in a church. At least in the old CUSA days our foes would bring big crowds for UC (Charlotte, Marquette, UAB, etc.)

Yup. Watched UConn almost lose to USF this week- was thinking how low can it go? Old CUSA was pretty hyped for road game crowds as I remember too.

The AAC makes me nostalgic for the old CUSA days. Always fun to play Charlotte and Marquette. I remember watching Dwyane Wade and that transfer from Missippi State tearin us up at the Shoe during their Final Four year. And before that I believe was Donald Little’s oh no..oh yes! Jumper to beat Marquette for the CUSA title.

Charlotte, Saint Louis, Southern Miss and UAB are a shell of their old CUSA selves today on the court, and as you would expect their attendance suffers. Their attendance last year:

Charlotte- 4,551
Saint Louis- 5,593
USM- 2,783
UAB- 4,134


With the exception of Saint Louis, all those schools have worse home attendance than Tulsa.
